DC restaurant apologizes for hosting white nationalist group

Updated 6:40 pm, Monday, November 21, 2016


WASHINGTON (AP) — A popular Italian restaurant in Washington has issued an apology, saying it unintentionally hosted a white nationalist group and the diners performed a Nazi salute while eating there.

Maggiano's Little Italy posted an apology on its Facebook page Monday.

The restaurant said it didn't realize it was hosting a banquet Friday for a group called the National Policy Institute, whose website says it advocates for the heritage and identity of those of European descent in the U.S.

The post says the group made reservation at the last minute using a different name. The group was gathered in Washington for a conference and celebrated Republican Donald Trump's election.

Remember reality star Tila Tequila?

Maybe you remember Tequila from her show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. Maybe you don't. Let us catch you up. Tequila has since authored an article titled, "Why I Sympathize with Hitler: Part I." She's also unapologetically tweeted:


"Women who complain about Trump saying, "Grab her by the pussy!" Are retards because I love getting grabbed by the pussy! Lmao!

I just recruited some Hitler Youth people for the #AltRight

"I noticed all the protestors tonight were really ugly. No wonder they're so angry! So glad I'm beautiful!"

5. Regret they endured the confrontation,

and thank them for contributing.

'The post goes on to read that Maggiano’s plans to donate the profits from its restaurant sales—which it pegs at $10,000—to the Washington chapter of the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL has recently undertaken a campaign to combat online hate speech and is has opposed Bannon’s appointment to a White House role.

UPDATE, 6:02 PM: Heather Gillies, the assistant regional director for the ADL’s Washington chapter, confirms to Washingtonian that Maggiano’s has promised a $10,000 donation. “It’s very thoughtful of Maggiano’s to turn this negative incident into a positive action,” she says.'

8. Bravo to Maggiano's Little Italy!

They donated the revenue from that night to the ADL.

Do be prepared to see more of this. They are louder and prouder than ever before and are emboldened by the incoming administration.

Kristallnacht's anniversary was just two weeks ago (the day our country failed). It will be coming soon to a city near you. Along with the Jews, it is anyone's guess as to which group(s) will also be targeted when the shit finally hits the fan.

10. Tila Tequila? She is relevant how? The only things I know about her is her crappy "reality" show,

her crappy sex tape and being in an abusive relationship with then SD Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman, which she exploited to advance her career.

Trump knows how to line up the A-listers!
